From the On the Boards web site, "The audacious and lavish style of Saint Genet becomes even more spectacular as they enter OtB’s Mainstage Theater. Paradisiacal Rites transforms elements of ballet, symphony, opera and installation into a hypnotic and visceral performance. Everything and nothing is sacred in this show that takes its inspiration from all that is fueled by blood, booze and bands. Saint Genet’s director Ryan Mitchell assembles an all-star team for Paradisiacal Rites, including choreographer Jessie Smith, visual artists Casey Curran and NKO, and a body politic of performers, dancers, composers, singers, bike messengers and ballerinas.
